Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) is a special class of metals that have the ability
to restore their original shape after severe deformation. SMAs find
applications in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, robotics and
biomedical. Nickel-Titanium alloy (nitinol) has been found to be the most
useful SMA in biomedical applications, and increased utilization of this alloy
to manufacture various medical devices has changed the algorithm of disease
treatment. With the growth in geriatric population globally and the increasing
rate of vascular diseases such as peripheral arterial diseases and coronary
artery diseases, the nitinol medical devices market shows tremendous growth
potential, particularly in developing nations.
